make it work - kit scraps

What do you usually do with your scrap papers? I think that those tiny little pieces have so much potential in them that I rarely throw them away. This time, I challenge myself to squeeze one more layout out of the bits and pieces from Spencer's instead of letting them live in my 'Scraps' crop bag :)

I have been having too much fun with circles lately, so I thought why not try other shapes this time? I look at my scrap papers and I see lots of triangles. That was how I decided on the layout of this page :)

I had a negative die cut sheet of triangles from when I made this layout, so I used that as a guide to trace some triangles onto my background. Then I stitched them all and fill them with the small pieces of paper with triangles on them.

I used the little cork circles from the cork cameras stickers to highlight my title and journaling, and added some of my leftovers enamel dots on top of them. You can also see I stamped on this layout, the title and the little 'you+me' on the PL card that has been squared to fit onto the polaroid frame. I think even with little amount of papers, you can make a detailed layout when you add stamping and little bits of embellishments here and there according to the flow of your design.

I hope I've inspired you to take another look at your scraps paper and hopefully use them! Link me up if you do, I can't wait to see your beautiful work! :)
